I agree that this country needs more monuments to GEN Sherman.
He had me until the last paragraph. Cities, states, and entities that own Confederate monuments can make up their own minds regarding what to do with them. I was a bit saddened that New Orleans tore down the PGT Beauregard statue, but that's their call, not mine. -
A very salient point:
If southern whites cannot abide the memory of their humiliation and ruin in the Civil War, all the less can black Americans abide the memory of two centuries of slavery and another century of second-class citizenship. There is no path to national unity on this sort of issue. The Confederate monuments have been in place for almost a century and a half, and it is unreasonable to make an issue of them today. But people are not in the market for reasonable.
Tear all the motherfucking confederate statutes down.
Then STFU about reparations and slavery and shit that happened 150 years ago. It's over.
Go build some fucking casinos like the red man did and take the white man's money.

Sherman is one of our most underrated Generals; it's too bad he had such a shitty tank named after him.AZDuck said:I agree that this country needs more monuments to GEN Sherman.

Also high on my list of underrated Generals is "Iron Tits", Matthew B Ridgeway. -

3-4 Star Generals wearing hand grenades is Tuff. Ridgeway commanded 82nd Airborne though in WWII so no Grandpa Swaye connectionSwaye said:

He would have hated Grandpa anyway. Landed in a ditch and broke his legs up. I am sure General Iron Tits preferred his soldiers to be upright and fighting.YellowSnow said:

Just heard this morning that San Diego is removing a plaque that was going to commemorate the end of the Jefferson Davis hi way in the 20s
That seems to be the big decade for monuments
People actually thought naming a hi way after him was a good idea
The first Trans gender hi way was the Lincoln Road. -
I lived for three years at 1515 Jeff Davis Highway in Arlington VA. Can't say I ever liked writing my address.
